my family is really bummed about it. we enjoy going to our toys r us all the time. it is fun for us. I agree with the news reports saying that 10 to 15 percent of sales will never come back. I think it may be more. The ability to browse and shop for toys at Walmart target and other places is just not the same. the fact is without Mattel and hasbro having toys r us as a physical place everyone can see all the toys the toy industry is going to suffer. it is already suffering when you look at Star Wars toy sales for example unrelated to toys r us. yes many toys will be bought online but people will not go window shopping to find every hasbro Mattel or lego set online that they would in store. it is a sad day for the toy industry. I think this only helps cement the loss of toy sales in general on a permanent basis to the new digital age where children don't even want as many toys. those who wish toys r us would go may in fact regret if it does. with Walmart limiting purchases target banning resellers and toys r us disappearing the options for acquiring significant inventory also becomes more difficult you may have a different opinion thats fine ..... this is mine ..... very sad about what is to happen2 points

I don't think it helps that many of the ship designs are fairly poor facsimiles of those from the original trilogy, or that when they do deviate they don't seem to be very compelling vs. the designs from the prequels. The Disney movies have essentially copied the X-Wing, TIE Fighter and Star Destroyer designs, and just tweaked them slightly. SDs in particular grow to ever-more-ridiculous dimensions while keeping the same fundamental shape. Both Kylo's and Krennic's shuttles, although not bad designs, are essentially variations on the shuttle first seen in ROTJ (three wings, two of which fold-up). Even if LEGO weren't making too many sets (which they obviously are) how many variants of the same thing can someone be compelled to buy? As regards the new ships, I think Rogue One's have fared the best -- I really like the U-Wing, and the stolen Imperial shuttle was pretty cool (strange that they haven't released a set of that). The less said about the forgettable resistance ship in TFA, and TLJ's bomber and skimmer, the better.1 point

So when I bought my tickets and shared with the family that we could win a prize of 5000 Legos, I got a look of pure joy and a look of terror (where will we put all those Legos)! Ah we are just a year into collecting/playing with Legos and it's been such fun for all . . . Reminding me of growing up, but I miss the old school windows. Thanks again from an SPS family for all the support!1 point

Super hero girls high school, at least 20 copies at $37.48 in my closing TRU. I’m likely buying when these hit $25 or lower, but if you have rewards/GCs to burn and can find them at that price, it might be worth going for. Part out value on BL $110.1 point

Yep. Nearing the end . all because morons are running the company plus competition. The US stores are next. https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2018/03/08/toys-r-us-preparing-liquidation-sources-say/408975002/ Toys R Us preparing for liquidation, sources say Toys R Us has gone into administration in the UK leaving 3,000 jobs at risk. The U.S. toy chain failed to find a buyer after struggling for months to compete with online retailers. Newslook After scrambling to keep its bankruptcy reorganization plan alive, Toys R Us is preparing for liquidation, people who weren't authorized to speak publicly about the matter confirmed Thursday. The toy retailing giant appears to be running out of time, and money -- pushing closer to having to close the doors of the entire chain. Its leaders have failed to find a buyer or reach a new debt financing deal with its lenders. As word spread, shares of Mattel and Hasbro, two of the world's largest toymakers, fell in after-hours trading. The company in recent weeks has told workers at its going-out-of-business sales that it doesn't have enough money to pay severance. Its United Kingdom division has been placed under administration — the U.K. version of bankruptcy — after falling behind on debt payments. It also reportedly is in talks to sell its Asian European divisions. A hearing scheduled for bankruptcy court has been postponed three time this week, signaling that the company's reorganization plan could be collapsing. Sources expect the company to file for Chapter 7 bankruptcy liquidation next week. Toys R Us declined to comment. Toys still could get a last-minute reprieve if a deep-pocket investor or lender steps up. Toys R Us failed to pull off the juggling act needed to balance a massive debt load while attempting to upgrade its out-of-date stores and improve its e-commerce offerings.1 point
